<< < (2/2)

hello Skibum,
 Er that sounds like a brilliant deduction it also sounds a little ominous.
 Can you suggest an alternative problem i should consider.

Budgie:
Engine & gearbox mountings would be a good palce to start, sometimes they delaminate allowing free movement.

Clutch cover plate thrown a spring?
Crankshaft front pully bolt loose?

Range Rover Blues:
Misfire or burned out valve(s).

Talking of delaminated engine mounts, you should see the set I took off the LSE, they had actualy burned away and the engine was held in by gravity.

dimoven:
You guys are awesome!
 I have just been to Asda,there was some vibration , a characteristic
of this problem is that once the engine has warmed up, it is tolerable .First thing in the morning when i start the car up the ,"shake ,rattle +role is scary"
I am burning diesel as well but thats my own fault for experimenting and despite a filter and oil change i cannot remove the smoky exhaust fumes.
We live and learn until its too late!

     thanks for your help
Donn

Sorry matey but I can't add anything that the other guys haven't already. Mounts are a good place to start as I've seen some delaminated ones and the engine was very loose.

Only other thought is a problem I have after my last off road play... the exhaust now rattles against the gearbox cross member at cold tickover. Warmed up it's fine, but that's more of a rattle than a vibration.

Keep us up to date with any diagnosis.... proffesional or otherwise!
